1 Chronicles 16

Good News Translation GNT

1 They took the Covenant Box to the tent which David had prepared for it and put it inside. Then they offered sacrifices and fellowship offerings to God.

2 After David had finished offering the sacrifices, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord

3 and distributed food to them all. He gave each man and woman in Israel a loaf of bread, a piece of roasted meat, and some raisins.

4 David appointed some of the Levites to lead the worship of the Lord, the God of Israel, in front of the Covenant Box, by singing and praising him.

5 Asaph was appointed leader, with Zechariah as his assistant. Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed Edom, and Jeiel were to play harps. Asaph was to sound the cymbals,

6 and two priests, Benaiah and Jahaziel, were to blow trumpets regularly in front of the Covenant Box.

7 It was then that David first gave Asaph and the other Levites the responsibility for singing praises to the Lord.

8 Give thanks to the Lord, proclaim his greatness; tell the nations what he has done.

9 Sing praise to the Lord; tell the wonderful things he has done.

10 Be glad that we belong to him; let all who worship him rejoice!

11 Go to the Lord for help, and worship him continually.

12 You descendants of Jacob, God's servant, descendants of Israel, whom God chose, remember the miracles that God performed and the judgments that he gave.

14 The Lord is our God; his commands are for all the world.

15 Never forget God's covenant, which he made to last forever,

16 the covenant he made with Abraham, the promise he made to Isaac.

17 The Lord made a covenant with Jacob, one that will last forever.

18 "I will give you the land of Canaan," he said. "It will be your own possession."

19 God's people were few in number, strangers in the land of Canaan.

20 They wandered from country to country, from one kingdom to another.

21 But God let no one oppress them; to protect them, he warned the kings:

22 "Don't harm my chosen servants; do not touch my prophets."

23 Sing to the Lord, all the world! Proclaim every day the good news that he has saved us.

24 Proclaim his glory to the nations, his mighty deeds to all peoples.

25 The Lord is great and is to be highly praised; he is to be honored more than all the gods.

26 The gods of all other nations are only idols, but the Lord created the heavens.

27 Glory and majesty surround him, power and joy fill his Temple.

28 Praise the Lord, all people on earth, praise his glory and might.

29 Praise the Lord's glorious name; bring an offering and come into his Temple. Bow down before the Holy One when he appears;

30 tremble before him, all the earth! The earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved.

31 Be glad, earth and sky! Tell the nations that the Lord is king.

32 Roar, sea, and every creature in you; be glad, fields, and everything in you!

33 The trees in the woods will shout for joy when the Lord comes to rule the earth.

34 Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good; his love is eternal.

35 Say to him, "Save us, O God our Savior; gather us together; rescue us from the nations, so that we may be thankful and praise your holy name."

36 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel! Praise him now and forever! Then all the people said, "Amen," and praised the Lord.

37 King David put Asaph and the other Levites in permanent charge of the worship that was held at the place where the Covenant Box was kept. They were to perform their duties there day by day.

38 Obed Edom son of Jeduthun and sixty-eight men of his clan were to assist them. Hosah and Obed Edom were in charge of guarding the gates.

39 Zadok the priest and his fellow priests, however, were in charge of the worship of the Lord at the place of worship in Gibeon.

40 Every morning and evening they were to burn sacrifices whole on the altar in accordance with what was written in the Law which the Lord gave to Israel.

41 There with them were Heman and Jeduthun and the others who were specifically chosen to sing praises to the Lord for his eternal love.

42 Heman and Jeduthun also had charge of the trumpets and cymbals and the other instruments which were played when the songs of praise were sung. The members of Jeduthun's clan were in charge of guarding the gates.

43 Then everyone went home, and David went home to spend some time with his family.

1 They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.

2 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name.

3 He gave to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.

4 He appointed some of the Levites to minister before the LORD’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel:

5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;

6 with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.

7 Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.

8 Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.

9 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.

10 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

11 Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.

12 Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

14 He is the LORD our God. His judgments are in all the earth.

15 Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

16 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.

17 He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

18 saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”

19 when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.

20 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

21 He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

22 “Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”

23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.

24 Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.

25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.

26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.

27 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.

28 Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!

29 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship the LORD in holy array.

30 Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.

31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!”

32 Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!

33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.

34 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

35 Say, “Save us, God of our salvation! Gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise.”

36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.

37 So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the LORD’s covenant, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;

38 and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;

39 and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before the LORD’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,

40 to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the LORD’s law, which he commanded to Israel;

41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his loving kindness endures forever;

42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.

43 All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
